The Sprint U.S. Grand Prix tour heads to Park City Mountain Resort Jan. 28- Feb. 1 with the second stop of the Sprint U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix and Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix halfpipe.

The event is part of an action-packed weekend in Park City Sprint U.S. Grand Prix events during the daytime and night events for the Visa Freestyle International at neighboring Deer Valley Resort.

Both are FIS World Cup events and will count towards qualification for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

The Sprint U.S. Grand Prix is a 5Star World Snowboard event and the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix is a Platinum AFP event.

The Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) unites independent events to create freesking’s most accurate ranking list the AFP world ranking list, that culminates in crowning an AFP World Champion from points earned at events like the Grand Prix.

QUOTESJen HudakThis will be my second competition back after my injury and I am so excited to get back on skis. Park City Mountain Resort’s pipe is one of the best in the world and now that it is my official home resort, I am even more proud to compete here.

Louie Vito I love coming back to Park City, home of the 2002 Olympics, for a Grand Prix. You take a great contest series like the Grand Prix and put it where the historic USA Olympic Sweep happened and it is just a cool feeling being there.
